Physiology teaching activities

Lectures in Physiology

The main teaching tasks of the department are in the Schools of
Medicine, Biomedical Sciences and Dentistry. The Biomedical
Sciences are differentiated in six majors Epidemiology, Health
Technology Assessment, Human Movement Sciences, Human Pathobiology,
Occupational and Environmental Health, and Toxicology) and each
with three optional profiles (Research, Public Health and
Communication).

The curricula are in general made up of 4-week courses with a
central theme. The department participates in the courses shown
below at both the Bachelor and Master levels.

Our department recognizes the importance of attracting and
training highly qualified students into the field of cellular,
molecular, whole animal and human physiology. Our primary objective
is to provide outstanding training across the broad discipline of
physiology, by giving students an in-depth knowledge of the
fundamental mechanisms and processes which underlie circulatory,
renal, pulmonary and smooth muscle function in wellness and in
disease. Graduates of this program are prepared to contribute to
achievement of the long-term goals of developing improved
strategies for prevention and control of these diseases. Moreover,
our graduates are trained to become leaders in physiology research
in the 21st century.

A large number of students perform their traineeship and research
projects at the Department of Physiology on human in vivo studies,
and patient-related and cell physiological topics. In addition,
many students perform their practical training abroad, including
Sydney Australia, Gold Coast Australia, Dunedin New Zealand, NIH
Bethesda USA, Miami USA, Dallas USA, Hamilton Canada, Copenhagen
Denmark, and many other places. The staff members of the department
gladly supervise these internships abroad.
